The Duo brings a unique dedicated macro camera and the main camera on the Pro model has the brightest aperture on a phone ever.

Honor 20
The Honor Comes with a 48MP Sony sensor, but the lens has a slower f/1.8 aperture and no optical stabilization. The sensor is joined by a 2MP macro and 16MP ultra wide-angle cameras at the back.
The screen is the same, 6.26-inch 1080p+, with a 32MP selfie camera inside a punch hole. The FP reader is again located on the side.
The Kirin 980 chipset is hooked up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage on this model (also, there’s no graphene sheet). Like the Pro, the GPU Turbo 3.0 software promises smoother gameplay on some of the most popular games out there.
The Honor 20 is is slimmer than the Pro – 7.87mm vs. 8.44mm – and it has a slightly smaller battery, 3,750mAh. The 22.5W SuperCharge will help you fill it up quickly (50% in 30 minutes).
